A whole, perfectly roasted turkey is a beautiful thing, but it’s not exactly known for being a speedy dish. To cook your Thanksgiving main in an hour, cut that thing up before popping it in the oven.

Sure, you’ll be sacrificing that whole-turkey Instagram photo, but your bird will cook a lot more quickly. (Plus, there will be so many turkey photos on Instagram, no one will miss yours, I promise.) If you don’t know how to break it down, just get your butcher to do it for you. Epicurious recommends salting the pieces 24 hours in advance, then coating them in butter, and roasting on a baking sheet at 425°F until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast (not touching bone) reads 165°F. Your turkey will cook more evenly and you’ll get much more crispy skin.
